LIVE: Bob Motta Analyzes Aaron Spencer's Murder Defense—Self-Defense vs. Premeditation

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

We're going live with defense attorney Bob Motta to examine the actual murder case against Aaron Spencer. Forget the judicial removal for a moment. Spencer still faces second-degree murder for killing Michael Fosler—the man out on bond for allegedly raping Spencer's teenage daughter. The question is whether he can prove he acted in lawful defense of his child.Spencer says Fosler lunged at him with something in his hand after Spencer rammed his truck off the road at 1 a.m. His daughter was inside that vehicle—missing from her bedroom, now with the man who allegedly assaulted her. The prosecution has Rule 404(b) evidence: statements Spencer allegedly made three months earlier about killing Fosler if he came near his daughter again. That's the premeditation they're pushing.Bob Motta walks us through what second-degree murder requires under Arkansas law, how strong the charge is given the circumstances, and what the defense needs to establish for self-defense or defense-of-others to succeed. We'll discuss how to counter prior statements, use Fosler's 43-count criminal history effectively, and address the prosecution's claim that Spencer should have just called police. We're taking your questions and comments live as we break down one of the most consequential defense-of-others cases in recent memory.#AaronSpencerLive #MurderDefense #BobMotta #SelfDefense #DefenseOfOthers #Rule404b #MichaelFosler #LononkeCounty #TrueCrimeLive #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
